Are you ready to rock? Demi Lovato sure is. The Sonny with a Chance star is back as Mitchie Torres in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

It's summer again, and Mitchie can't wait to return to Camp Rock. She's especially looking forward to reuniting with her crush, Shane (Joe Jonas), who has been touring with his band. But Mitchie's plans for quality time with Shane are interrupted when they learn about Camp Star, a rival camp that has opened across the lake.

Camp Star is flashier, more glamorous and more high-tech—and it's stealing campers and staff away from Camp Rock. In order to save their camp from going under, Mitchie and the remaining Rockers challenge their Camp Star rivals to an unforgettable musical showdown. Which group will come out on top?

Highest-Paid Athlete Hailed From Ancient Rome Print

Thursday, 02 September 2010 21:59
Mega-milliondollar sponsorship deals such as those signed by sprinter Usain Bolt, motorcycle racer Valentino Rossi and tennis player Maria Sharapova, are nothing compared to the personal fortune amassed by a second century A.D. Roman racer (about 1,800 years ago).

According to Peter Struck, associate professor of classical studies at the University of Pennsylvania, a chariot racer named Gaius Appuleius Diocles earned “the incredible sum" of 35,863,120 sesterces (ancient Roman coins) in prize money.

This amount beats the fortunes of all modern sport stars, including golfer Tiger Woods, who is known as modern “sports' first billion-dollar man.”

Diocles, “the most eminent of all charioteers,” according to the inscription, was born in Lusitania, in what is now Portugal and south-west Spain, and started his spectacular career in 122 A.D., when he was 18.

Life for a charioteer in Rome wasn’t easy. Often slaves who could eventually buy their freedom, these racers engaged in wild laps of competition at the Circus Maximum, running a total of about 4,000 meters (nearly 2.5 miles).

Obama's Discusses Daughters Print
World News
Wednesday, 01 September 2010 21:36
WASHINGTON – Twelve-year-old Malia Obama wears braces, toots a flute and is after her father to save the tigers. Younger sister Sasha, who is 9, shoots hoops like her basketball-loving dad and dances hip-hop.

Both girls get up at 6 a.m. to get ready for school.

Barack and Michelle Obama put their girls off-limits to the news media after they moved to the White House, saying they wanted to keep their daughters' lives as normal as possible. But small details about the private lives of the young do dribble out. Often they come from a surprising source: Mom and Dad.

It was President Barack Obama who mentioned, perhaps to his daughter's utter embarrassment, that Malia had been fitted with braces.

Golfer's Swing Sparks 25-acre California Blaze Print
Sports
Tuesday, 31 August 2010 21:03
You can use a golf club for all kinds of non-golfy purposes -- walking stick, fishing rod, club, to name three. And now we can add to that list -- firestarter.

Over the weekend, a golfer's swing in the rough at the Shady Canyon Golf Course in Irvine, California, struck a rock.

Not so different from the way you play, right? Only this time, the impact caused a spark, and the spark set off a blaze that eventually covered 25 acres, according to Steven Buck, General Manager of Shady Canyon Golf Course.

The fire required the efforts of 150 Orange County firefighters.
